The op-ed calls for continued prayer and support for national leaders, regardless of agreement or disagreement with their actions. Glenn Mollette stresses that leadership often needs encouragement most during moments of disagreement.

The best we can do right now is the best we can do. We can be influencers and voices to those who help and serve us. However, we don’t control the government. We can vote and that is powerful. We can let our leadership know how we feel and that is never a waste of time. We can make our contributions to causes that bring about change. We can volunteer in places that make a difference. After that, it’s up to those we elected. After we do and have done all we can do, we have to sit back and wait and watch to see what is going to happen. Sometimes we approve. Sometimes we don’t and sometimes we are unsure.
Hard working Americans of faith have made this country and will keep this country going.
In the middle of conflict and uncertainty, we should never cease to pray for our President and leaders of government. They need our prayers. They also need our support. They need it when we feel they are right and they need it when we believe they are wrong. Just because we believe leadership may be wrong doesn’t mean we withdraw our support. Usually when we feel they are wrong they need our support more but in a different way. That’s when we say, “I support you but you need to go at this in a different way.” Sometimes those who lead us listen and it seems like often they don’t pay any attention to us.
